This sounds like raw land with no improvements.John Corey

Thanks for the replies.I am actively looking for fixer-upper houses, browsing the "raw data" from the local MLS board every week, but I'm not finding any standout, amazing deals.About two years ago I tried doing the whole foreclosure/preforeclosure thing, going through the "Legal News" paper, looking up outstanding mortgages on properties, and contacting the owners who were in a purchasable situation.

I will also help others do exactly as I have so that they may live a fruitful life as well.

I am constantly reinvesting in building lots that I pay cash for.. or other low hanging fruit.
